Okay, so simply just replace the .apk file in the system/app directory using es file manager or something like that at setting permissions..
But how and where do I set the permission?

Hold the file u want to set and pick set permission.. that's in root explorer. Dunno bout es..
U can set permission via adb shell or terminal emulator by using chmod command. Useful when u need to change multiple files (in one folder)

If you placed the apk file on system/app you have to press over the HtcLockscreen.apk(using root explorer)and when the menu appears srcoll to permissions, then do the thing, restart and thats it.
Hope it helps.

Grant root permissions to your file explorer and Mount system. These can be enabled in the settings of your file manager.

Open the zip file, and then delete it in there before you flash it over.

How would you push an .apk to your system/app?

The best way to push an app to your system/app file with out bricking your phone?

Um that isn't going to brick you. Especially since you're talking about system app. Worst thing to happen would be a reboot if you touched an app which was currently running.
But I've been using root explorer and it works great. Or if the file is on my computer I use adb push. Or even a flashable zip if you really are worried.

I used a file browser app and installed it over the existing one. Every time after that I was getting an error something .goo not responding. (SecPhone.apk) Trying to restor the call recording feature. I ended up doing a restore back to square one. No if I use root-explorer will it make a difference or should I use dab push? I would not know how to begging with that. could I use terminal and instal like I would if I was using the cwmtr.img install directions. but direct it to system/app?

Which file browser app did you use? Did you remember to set the permissions for the newly copied apk? Permissions in /system/app should be rw-r--r

No I did not set permissions. If I use Root-Explorer will that allow me to set permissions? I used Smanager to move the file.
Ctrl+C then Ctrl+V
Can I use RootExplorer to zip file them flash it? Or just move using RE?

Yes, Root Explorer will allow you to change permissions as long as you aare rooted.

Root Explorer is a file manager, use to move the file to the appropriate folder and set permissions and reboot. I know you can create a zip & tar file, don't know if it would be flashable though.

Smanager isn't a good file system tool. Try root browser lite tap and hold functioning is perfect. Has options for copy paste and permissions

I am using Frosty JB v6. I asked in the developer thread and I got a reply http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1874063&page=546
I tried using RootExplorer and I was still getting error messages after be booting. Is there a way to make it flash able? What am I doing wrong or is it just never going to work? Do I need to start looking for a rom that has it functional on the build?
Did you reset permissions to match the rest of the files in the folder?
And you probably need to wipe dalvik and cache in recovery.

Use root browser lite, you can get it from the market it's a freeware then copy the app you want to system/app ....no permission stuff needed

Please know what you're talking about first before posting suggestions. Especially when it pertains to system directory permissions. System/app directory uses rw-r--r-- as the permissions. Meaning owner has read write permissions while everyone else only has read. Not setting permissions correctly can lead to many many many issues.

I vote for a rom that has it and works where you don't need to mod stuff, yet. Learn all this stuff with something you don't need, like a sound mod (DSP) or something.

My custom camera icon is not showing.

So, I'm trying to customize my camera icon through the res and ect.. I got one of the apks to flash but, then I noticed it was very jagged and not clean at all so I decided to fix it up and now I can't get it to flash. When I do flash it the icon disappears and there is no camera app to be found. I have a feeling that my sizes or resolution of the picture of the (not working icon) are off or something. I will attach the not working and working camera apk below. If someone could tell me where I went wrong I would be very thankful.

Is the Rom odex? If it is, then you have to deodex the HTCCamera.apk

I believe it is considering the file on the side of it is .odex. I apologize for not being the most knowledgeable on the subject. Would I deodex it in a kitchen? Like a rom kitchen of course.
I'm confused why one apk worked and the other didn't though?
EDIT: How would I go about deodexing??? I've been researching and tried using baksmali but, I keep getting error messages. I'm pretty lost right now.
Not really sure as to why it would just disappear like that if you only modified some images in the res folder... Did you mess with baksmali ? Possibly modifying something in there would cause it to dissapear.
As for deodex, get dsixdas kitchen, set it up, then just making a working folder out of the Rom you want to modify. After that's done, go to advanced options and select deodex a file or something. It should give you the option of the whole Rom or just a single apk. It's the long way, but its easier than baksmali, imo.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda app-developers app
I tried baksmali I'm not completely sure if I did it right but it gave me an out folder and then I used smali to make it into a classes.dex I'm not really sure what to do with that file. I assume you're supposed to zip it with the apk...but, when I do that I get a parse error.
My process for changing the images in res is I decompile the apk with apktool. I then go into the res folder switch out the ic launcher icon for the one I made. I then rebuild the apk with apk tool. From there I'm not sure if you're supposed to flash it in a zip or I can just adb push it....

You need to take META-INF folder, and maybe the Manifest.xml from the original apk and place it in your modified one. Then push via adb or move to system with a root file manager.
Also fix permission, 644 (rw-r-r)

If you use a root file manager (es explorer etc)
long press the apk and select permissions, then change to look like the image attached
If you're using adb:
Code:
adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/nameofapk.apk
Big thank you to both of you! Especially bennyboy78 I deodexed the apk in the rom kitchen like he said and just threw my customized icon in the apk and it worked! Thank you so much!

What app are you using to do that? Also if you're moving something to system/apps you have to make sure you enable RW on the app

You need a root file explorer. ES File Explorer is probably the best free one.
Though it is my opinion that Solid Explorer is the best overall.
The apk says both read and write are enabled but I still can't copy it into the system/app folder.
Sent from my SGH-T999
If you use file explorer first select root explorer, then grant it root access when prompted, then select mount R/W and select system, after that you will be able to copy
